It's disolved. I think it's ironic that the subject most often cited as a cold commercial transcation between a customer and service provider is concierge care. However, anyone who knows a good concierge physician knows that the physician-patient bond is in bold effect here.

Blaming poor patient relationships on others is just another way of physicians excusing their own behavior when things go bad.

It is this type of nonsensical tripe regarding "sacred bonds" and "becoming allies" pap that is just galling. These terms belong at the local Jim Jones cult house and not in any objective discussion on the consumer provider relationship. For years, physicians have used this mindless sappy sentimentality to get the plebeian morons to fight their battles for them. Now the other shoe is dropping on this fairyland pabulum. Until we can get this warped view of reality out of the way, it will only serve to cloud the issues of the day. Stop it.
